Further to your announcement on the 23 rd August that you are recruiting new experts to scrutinise ‘viability assessments’ relating to the financial details that lie behind how much affordable housing new developments include, will you consider introducing new rules in London to tackle the existing issue of viability consultants frequently working for both developers and local authorities? Will you in particular consider the introduction of strict conflict of interest provisions to prevent individuals from taking up work for private developers, at the very least for a specific period of time after they leave City Hall?
